This is just sad. I was hoping for a real post about the Shogunate/Byzantiderp side in this, but if all you're gonna do is whine and troll, then please change to a different thread.

First of all, i will post wherever i want, thank you.

Second of all - i'm not here to entertain you. Our side of the story ? Why would i post it, i've done it many times before, yet this topic still started wtih LLJK, Legio and Risen leaders talking smack about me . I don't have to prove anything to anyone and by this time i believe most people have made their own conclusions.

So, above is the best you're getting out of me. Deal with it .

P.S. VVarlord , i'm always up for good battles , but not on the forums.

Just want to be clear on this as an diplomat and on behalf of the Guild: We had no quarrels with LLJK and there was certainly not any hate either, LLJK defended themselves against aggressors and that was their right, that was something we didn't want to participate in, period.so it was 4Now because i know somebody is gonna trolllolo about us not helping our allies at all blablabla.u don't have the right numbers, cus u didn't notice and thats just a good thing and if we knew there would be a wipe, we definitely would have send all the rest for the lulz and some kewl battles (atleast 1 where the female chars should wear Bride Dresses visitors can't see pics , please register or login), leaving our territory totally defenceless

But now we're looking forward to the upcoming strat wich finally will have some trade goods, yay (chadz better not be trolling again, its getting old).Gonna be interesting to see how the mapsplit is gonna be and if we could do some fun caravan'ing As last time we will try to be on good terms with everyone, as long we don't get pulled into something

We had no quarrels with LLJK and there was certainly not any hate either, LLJK defended themselves against aggressors and that was their right, that was something we didn't want to participate in, period.

Well that is not entirely true, we would have eventually come into conflict because you held Mazigh, which is a Desert province.

It should also be noted that LLJK participated in the FCC vs Northern Empire war, however short is was.

Lol ujin is just a game chill out, no need to keep raging just because we beated you.

Anyway somebody that played in the north of the map can explain why NE died without fighting? We know they sent a lot of stuff to help shogunate in the south, but seems strange they totally forgot to defend their fiefs

ATS seems like they sent nearly half of their gold value to fund LLJK extermination within 1-2 weeks of Strat starting, because for some reason a neutral clan on the very opposite side of the map was a much, much higher priority then the enemies that surrounded Northern Empire lands. Also they spent all of their remaining gold on 1 army with typical top end cRPG Battle server gear that got beaten by a spawn cap (where BRD got to loot it all) midway through a battle. Seems like no one in ATS but Ecko knew how to equip an army, manage gold, shuffle troop around, or anything because after this one over-excessively geared army lost they literally stopped fighting every single battle. They must've had thousands of more tickets, could have had many smaller armies resist every siege but they just straight up refused. Eastern Tsardom refused to participate in any battles and instantly abandoned the war after ATS lost one battle, and the Hospitallers bitterly defended every possession they had with whatever gear (mostly low quality) they could buy.

I got the impression that Ecko did not let anyone else learn how to play Strat, made all the NE clans pool money to him, blew most of the money in a failed alliance with Shogunate trying to wipe out LLJK at the very start (how rude) and buying inefficient gear. I remember Ecko flaunting how he had meticulous plans on how to deal with every major faction in Strategus wars, but apparently he forgot to draw up the "buy gear, fight battles, defend fiefs" part of the game. Which is basically the entire point..

FCC showed how effective a stubborn resistance could be, along with having good allies and knowing how to fight Strategus battles. Obviously losing a war isn't too entertaining but actually having gear for all your troops and playing the battles is fun, jesus christ why didn't anyone show up, most fiefs strongly favor defenders.

Special shout out to all the completely landless clans that decided mass attacking LLJK for their lands was more important then getting neutral fiefs or checking the expansion of organizations like The Grey Order. See you all next Strat!
